On the one hand, it investigates the impact external actors and international affairs had on Chilean politics up to and immediately following the brutal coup d’etat that overthrew Allende on 11 September 1973. On the other hand, it explores how the rise and fall of Allende’s peaceful democratic road to socialism affected the Cold War in Latin America and international affairs beyond.

    DeRLAS Vol. 12 No. 1 Watt & Dannels-Ruff Delaware Review of Latin American Studies Vol. 12 No. 1 June 30, 2011 The US and Panama: The Evolution of an Asymmetric Relationship Michelle Arnold Watts and Kimberly Dannels-Ruff School of Security and Global Studies American Public University System [email protected] Abstract This article examines the historic transition of the Panama Canal from the United States to Panama and analyzes how this transition transformed the relationship between the US and Panama. We argue that the relatively peaceful transition of the Canal from the US to Panama, despite its flaws, ultimately allowed Panama to overcome a history of occupation, to gain long-awaited sovereignty over its territory and to expand its role in the international community. With the acquisition of the Canal, and the lengthy transition period which allowed adequate time for Panamanians to master Canal operations, Panama has become an essential player in the global economy and now uses the Canal as a catalyst for national economic growth. The transition, as well as the divergent interests of both actors, changed the historically asymmetric relationship between the US and Panama. While the US remains dominant, Panama has solidified its sovereignty. Key words: Asymmetry Theory, Panama, United States, Panama Canal, Carter-Torrijos Treaties, Deconcini, Liberalism, Noriega, Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty, Unexploded ordinances, Jimmy Carter, Neutrality Treaty ******************************** Panama recently celebrated its first decade of sovereignty over the Panama Canal and the former Canal Zone. Prior to this time, Panama had little to no control over this precious national resource. The French had begun construction of the Canal in 1880, when Panama was still a province of Colombia.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. In this study, beliefs and convictions are delineated by the extent to which the belief is also operationalized in policy; that is, a conviction is a belief that has been applied in a substantive manner. For example, as we will see in chapter 6 that deals with Reagan’s cognetic narrative, he had a belief that abortion was abhorrent and immoral, but he had a competing conviction that it was not a government’s role to impose limits on freedom of choice. In effect, his conviction about limited government overrode his belief about abortion from becoming a conviction. For members of the Religious Right, for whom prohibiting abortion was clearly a conviction, Reagan managed to assuage them with rhetoric, but the record shows that he did not act in a substantive manner. 2.

  • Putting the Canal on the Map: Panamanian Agenda-Setting and the 1973 Security Council Meetings
    This is a pre-peer-reviewed versions of Tom Long, “Putting the Canal on the Map: Panamanian Agenda- setting and the 1973 Security Council Meetings,” Diplomatic History, (forthcoming) Putting the Canal on the Map: Panamanian Agenda-setting and the 1973 Security Council Meetings Abstract In the early 1970s, Panama’s negotiations with the United States over the status of the Panama Canal had come to a frustrating standstill. The military government of Omar Torrijos had rejected the unratified treaties tabled by Marco Robles and Lyndon B. Johnson, only to find itself facing much less generous positions from the Nixon administration. Realizing that the issue of the canal was being ignored in Washington, the Panamanian government launched a new strategy of internationalizing the previously bilateral issue. To do so, it created and exploited an unusual, high-profile forum: extraordinary meetings of the U.N. Security Council in March 1973. In those meetings, Panama deftly isolated the United States in order to raise the issue’s profile and amplify the costs of leaving the matter unsettled. By using underutilized Panamanian sources, this article looks at how that meeting occurred, the burst of progress that followed, and how this early stage shaped the environment for the final negotiations under Jimmy Carter several years later. 1 This is a pre-peer-reviewed versions of Tom Long, “Putting the Canal on the Map: Panamanian Agenda- setting and the 1973 Security Council Meetings,” Diplomatic History, (forthcoming) Putting the Canal on the Map: Panamanian Agenda-setting and the 1973 Security Council Meetings “The United States has vetoed Panama’s resolution, but the world has vetoed the United States.”1 -Panamanian Foreign Minister Juan Antonio Tack, March 1973 In the middle of March 1973, ambassadors from the fifteen members of the United Nations Security Council gathered in Panama City for an extraordinary meeting.
